I'm a Self-made Woman in Every Sense of the Word

By doing the work to love ourselves more, I believe we will love each other better.

I'm a Self-made Woman in Every Sense of the Word

Whether you're transgender or not, most of us get to a point in our lives where we can no longer lie to ourselves.

I would never be so arrogant to think that someone should model their life after me. But the idea of possibility the idea that I get to live my dreams out in public, hopefully will show to other folks that it's possible. So I prefer the term 'possibility model' to 'role model.'

So often, trans roles don't even go to trans actors. Most of the fabulous trans roles that have won people Oscars, we didn't get to play. A lot of folks have said we're not trained enough and that we're not prepared to do whatever.

I have always been aware that I can never represent all trans people. No one or two or three trans people can. This is why we need diverse media representations of trans folks to multiply trans narratives in the media and depict our beautiful diversities.
